Keynote Presentations & Seminars That Awaken Purpose, Productivity & Passionate Living
Rev. Rebekah Carpenter, M.Div., M.A.
Religious Keynote Seminars & Presentations
Are you a pastor, church staff member, administrator or church member? Are you planning a conference or event for clergy and lay leadership? Are you planning an event for church members throughout your denomination? Do you want to deeply stir, inspire and re-energize these church leaders and members for active ministry?
Consider Rebekah’s keynote and seminars.
Religious Keynote "Ancient Awakening, Our Awakening"
This keynote presentation is interspersed with breathtaking a cappella music and powerful character portrayals. The characters reflect and draw strength from stories in the bible. These ancient biblical stories inspire the characters to discover and honor parts of their and others’ authentic voice, gifts, identities, passions and purposes.
The transformation that takes place as a result of each character’s encounter with scripture instigates one or more parts of a death and rebirth cycle within each of them. This cycle includes: death of parts of their old self, discovery of who they and others authentically are and a refocusing and rebirth of parts of their lives. As a result of this death and rebirth cycle, pieces of the characters’ vision are purified. They can more clearly see others for who they really are, see and meet the genuine needs of others, see the contributions of others, and the relationship with themselves, with others, with God and with those they serve are deepened.
Debriefing Session following "Ancient Awakening, Our Awakening"
(This makes an ideal 2 hour break-out session after the performance of the keynote)
1) Verbalize, process and reinforce what was experienced and learned while watching the keynote.
2) Discuss how different characters:
A. Experienced the death and rebirth cycle: death of parts of their old self, discovery of who they and others authentically are, and a refocusing and rebirth of parts of their lives
B. Discovered and honored their and others’ authentic voice, gifts, identities, passions and purposes
C. Purified parts of their vision so they were better able to:
1) See others for who they really are
2) See and meet the genuine needs of others
3) See the contributions of others
4) Deepen the relationship with themselves, with others, and with God
By going through the death and rebirth transformation each character received through their encounters with scripture, audience members are then able to apply this same transformative power to their private and group study of the bible
The second section of the debriefing session gives the audience the opportunity to:
Talk through how the creative medium of drama was placed beside the bible to increase its sacred power to place those in its path into a death and rebirth cycle of transformation. Other mediums are given that the audience can take home and place alongside their own prayer practices and the study of the bible to increase their power to transform
Leadership Development Two Day Seminar "Creating Permanent Awakening for Your Church"
The seminars below can:
Follow Rebekah’s powerful keynote: “Ancient Voices/Our Voices” by providing break-out sessions at your event or conference or they can stand-alone at your church or retreat location
For: Clergy and church staff who are responsible for leading individuals or groups
Purpose: Seminars teach clergy and staff tools they can consistently apply while working with their committees, other church staff/leadership and church members. The leadership tools instigate a continuous death and rebirth cycle within clergy, lay leadership, and the church as an organization. This continuous cycle is central to the permanent awakening process that is Rebekah’s mission and includes: death of outdated behaviors, paradigms, identities, and relationships, discovery of their and others, authentic voice, gifts, identities, passions and purposes, and a re-focusing and designing of the life of the church based on these discoveries. As a result of this continuous cycle, a permanent culture change can take place as a church can go from where it is to fostering critical thinking, innovation, vitality, creativity, teamwork, authentic passion and inspired productivity on more and more of a permanent basis.
